Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo delivered a standout performance in Ghana's narrow victory over Mali in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Black Stars maintained their top spot in the qualifying games with a 1-0 win over their Malian counterparts to keep their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup hopes alive.
A 49th-minute goal from Alexander Djiku ensured Ghana a home victory to extend their lead in Group I, amassing 19 points from eight games with two matches to end the qualifying campaign.
Sibo, who earned a late call-up to the Black Stars squad, was handed a starting berth to make his debut in Ghana colours, taking the place of Abdul Salis Samed, who featured in the 1-1 draw with Chad last Thursday.
The 27-year-old enjoyed the entire duration of the game against Mali with an impressive display in front of the Ghanaian fans.
Sibo’s inclusion in the senior national team of Ghana is seen as a reward for his impressive consistency at club level, having played a key role in Real Oviedo’s promotion to La Liga last season and starting the current campaign strongly.
